So I started to notice my front shocks and shock towers were poking up through the body a little. So I came up with this little hack.. it’s made from a piece of 1/4” thick plastic I bought for miscellaneous part building. It mounted by the body posts going through two holes I drilled in it and 2orked great.

There’s several YouTube videos on body reinforcement with shoo goo and drywall tape, but my two cents is it’s a messy job so take your time and hot melt glue the tape first to tack it in place then use warm shoo goo sparingly. It goes a long ways it took me almost 2 tubes to do this body
 
Nice mod. I seen that someone on ebay was making some 3d printed parts to go over the towers. Cant find anything for sale in the US though.

I’m glad this came up again. Reminded me I need to borrow your idea for several of my cars. It’s a darn good idea and I have a sheet of this plastic already waiting to be used.
